We were seated in the bar area and I opted for what I thought was a glass of champagne but it turned out to be a champagne cocktail 'the classic'. Wasn't to my taste! But my mistake. They have no draft beers, but some bottled and a good selection of bottled ciders. We were then seated at a big round table - too big in my opinion cos I felt I needed to shout to everyone on it! The menu looked amazing. As French as you could possibly get so I was in heaven. The waitress then came over and told us half of it they didn't have! Bit naughty not to mention it on the website cos there was a lot missing. I chose the steak tartare to start, It was delicious! Fillet steak minced with pickles and mustard through it, it was quite fiery actually, I think there was quite a bit of Tabasco in it too but it really enhanced the dish. Wasn't sure about the raw egg yolk served on top but I was pleasantly surprised. I opted for a bottle of the Pinot noir which was nice and subtle, the more expensive of the wines at 30ish quid. But that was at the top of the price range on the wine list so quite reasonable really for all the wines ( it helped I wasn't paying too! ). For the main I went for the sirloin steak, served with fries and the best pepper sauce I have EVER tasted. Yes The Yeoman - it beat yours! (can't believe I just said that). I asked for it to be cooked rare but it was slightly overdone. Usually I would have sent it back but it was so tasty I didn't actually need to. Everyone else was thoroughly enjoying theirs too. For pudding I shared a cheese board and again was transported through those pearly white gates. The cheese's where magnific! Melt in your mouth blue, Brie to die for, a lovely smoked one which I thought I wouldn't like. Yum. Yum. YUM! My friends chose the baked Alaska which was flambé'd at the table, it looked amazeballs. We all left stuffed and giddy. It was a real treat, I highly recommend for a extremely pleasant evening out. Thankyou Jane and Keith!

The breading was delicious and they sprinkled chopped garlic on it with a touch of olive oil. The dipping sauce was amazing. The best entree for the night was Fish Parmentier, and it had a delicious white sauce that it was made with. The buttered mussels were good but could have used more chopped garlic. My 2 sons each ordered Beton Stew and they both were disappointed with the dish. I tried it too and the sauce wasn't great. My wife ordered the Beef Bouguignon and she was disappointed as well. It was the sauce again and she said the beef was over cooked and a bit stiff. My youngest ordered the Rib Eye with the béarnaise sauce. The steak could have been more tender and the béarnaise sauce was too bland and we definitely had better.

In the summer the big umbrellas in the courtyard provide shade for those long lazy lunches that are perpetuated by an endless stream of chardonnay. It's glorious and charming and a wee bit posh. We went in seeking shelter during a very rainy day in March, my lovely French connection playsuit soaked through and my hair plastered to my head, very attractive indeed. Not especially hungry we opted for the light lunch, my companion (the filthy carnivore) had a chunky burger with salad and I had to admit feelings of mild envy when it came. I had the mushroom/toast type thing which was absolutely lovely but cost me £7. Don't get me wrong, I'm no scrooge but for £7 I want a little more than mushrooms on toast (the only other option on the light lunch 'menu'). It was beautifully presented though and probably the prettiest plate of mushrooms on toast I've ever encountered. The staff were lovely and didn't even sneer at me for looking like an absolute rat with horrible hair, our waitress was even sympathetic to my plight making helpful 'oooh' noises when I squelched in saturated with rainwater. It's a little on the pricey side but the food is excellent and the setting is pretty perfect to be honest.

We looked…read moreat the website and thought it looked ok but when we arrived it exceeded all our expectations. A group of 7 of us went there for my mother in laws birthday. What a surprise to find that there was a private little room just off the main restaurant that we had the pleasure of using. For a small group like ours it was perfect as it felt very private and the ambience was just right with soft lighting and warm colours. The waiting staff weren't bothersome and very accomodating and friendly. We ordered our food which was delicious beyond measure, my mother in law said it was the best cod she had had in her life and at 74 i expect thats pretty good. We had a mix of different things from the starter and the main menu and all the plates were practically licked clean. Only myself and my MIL had a dessert, it was creme brulee with an almond biscotti and rhubarb. Yes we also thought it sounded strange but thought we'd give it a try, well its worth driving all the way to Wales just to taste it! The most delicious dessert we've ever had. The inside is decorated really well not too modern not too old and fusty and they played good music softly in the background. I hate loud music or naff music in restaurants. They also have a nice garden out the back and a sort of mezzanine bar upstairs, looks great if you wanted a private party. The only negative was the fact that the toilets were upstairs, not a bother for me but it can be for someone in their 70's. Toilets were also nice and clean and had a vintage feel to them. The prices were pretty standard good restaurant prices so a little more expensive than a Zizi's or a Loch Fyne but for the standard of everything its worth paying a little extra. For 7 of us it came to £240 which is about £35 each that was for 2 courses, 2 bottles of wine and about 6 bottles of real ale.

Inside, la Brasserie is kind of cosy but smart, with dark wooden furniture and jugs hanging from the beamed ceiling, and the menu offers European dishes with an emphasis on game and meat dishes. La Brasserie has a separate area outside called The Terrace, which is what this review is about. The Terrace is one of the many popular al fresco seating areas in this Mill Lane area of town, all of which get heaving with sun-seekers in the summer. It has a decent range of different wines, and its own separate menu with lunch from £7.95, including things like Caesar salad, grilled meat, and lighter bites - all tailored towards offering the type of food you want to eat when it's sunny. I've only eaten out at The Terrace (not inside La Brasserie), and the food there was pretty good, as was the wine - I'd recommend it for a lazy summer afternoon.

The cuisine may be better in the main area of the restaurant, but to be honest, I'm not really in a hurry to find out.

The landlady of the b&b we stayed at recommended this French place so we felt sure that, given she was a local, she would know what she was talking about. The front of house gentleman was indeed a gentleman. He was attentive, friendly, down to earth, and made us feel very welcome. To start we shared warm bread with a good quality, flavorsome olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Perfect to wet the whistle! The boy was really pleased with his sirloin steak (priced at £14.95) and said it was cooked perfectly. His chips were incredibly chunky and in my view, real steak chips. His English mustard was served to him on an amuse bouche spoon.. A nice little touch. My paella (again £14.95) was presented beautifully. It was filled with meat and seafood so had plenty going on texture-wise. My only complaint would be that it needed slightly more seasoning and maybe a good squeeze of lemon, but other than that it was really rather enjoyable.  I washed my meal down with a large bottle of sparkling San Pellogrino as I didnt fancy alcohol. This was served to me nice and cold; something so simple that so many eateries get wrong. The boy washed his steak down with a pint of Somerset's very own, Thatchers Gold. How very apt, given that we were in Somerset. :-) A really pleasant evening.

We chose here as a midway point to meet some Devon-based friends for dinner and were absolutely delighted. First the dinner compares to some of the best restaurants I've visited in the southwest. There isn't a trace of gastropub pretention. Most of the ingredients are made or sourced within a stone's throw of the village, including a beer brewed 150 years away. I chose hare starter, slow roasted belly pork with black pudding and apple (I know everywhere does belly pork these days but this was five star compared to the greasy hunks some places serve), and the somerset cheese board (vivid descriptions of local cheeses were too fascinating to resist). Second, the setting. Who could not love being nestled upstairs in a narrow, thatched barn, timber beams arching above, wood stoves crackling gently, with a blissful view of north somerset and exmoor? It was worth the slightly nervous drive down lanes so narrow the nettles brushed the car windows. Seek it out if you can!

There's a good range of ciders on tap, and especially on a summer's day, it's a perfect palce to sit down by the water and sup on a cider, and they've got a large outdoor seating area to allow you to do so.

I'm talking about a ploughman's, or fish and chips, or my favourite, welsh rarebit (it's not just cheese on toast if it's cooked properly) with the best homemade chips I have ever had. The service was lovely and friendly, even though it was boiling and very busy. The meals at this pub are served with proper chutneys, cheeses and sauces and actually go some way to convincing you that we do actually have national dishes in this country that people might like to eat. Seriously though, try the Welsh rarebit with a side order of chips and a bitter shandy...that's British summer time...you can keep your fruity Pimms Boris! We actually got off to a bad start as when we arrived all of the outside tables were reserved! So it's the hottest day of the year and a pub with lovely food and a beer garden is losing business by reserving most of their outside tables and not letting people sit on them even when they are empty. This is their choice, but a bit of a ridiculous system to be honest. You are actively turning business away for people who aren't there and could show up at a later time. So my suggestion is book a table. And ok so you wish the pub was facing the other way; more toward the river and less towards the road, but now I'm just nit picking.
